. "The majority of the talk that has reached the people 
throughout the country about the great gold fields of the 
Klondike districts is no doubt true, and we think it a safe 
Investment for anyone. After a thorough investigation, 
we can safely recommend to the readers of this paper, 
the Alaska- Yukon-Klondike Gold Syndicate. The char- 
acter of its officers constitute a sufficient guarantee that 
not a day nor a dollar will be wasted."

The Alaska- Yukon-Klondike Gold Syndicate 
has been organized and incorporated for the pur- 
pose of acquiring and operating gold mines in 
Alaska and the North West territory of British 
America, now recognized as unquestionably the 
richest gold fields of the known world. This 
syndicate is authorized to purchase, build and 
sell, all kinds of machinery, vessels and boats, 

The bulk of the wealth (of Alaska) is in the 
rocks of the hills, waiting for the proper machin- 
ery to take it out.

to transport freight and passengers; to locate, 
develop, and operate mines and mining proper- 
ties ; to purchase, sell and improve personal and 
real estate, refine, smelt and assay the metals, 
and to carry on such other business as may be 
pertinent to its purposes. The future great 
operations of that country must be carried on 
through organization, aided by boats, pack ani- 
mals, hydraulics and machinery driven by steam 
and electricity. The supplying of these must 
be through capital, with carefully planned and 
thoroughly equipped expeditions directed by ex- 
perienced managers and operated by mining and 
engineering experts. 

The expedition of this syndicate will leave 
the Pacific coast in two sections during: March

and April of next year, under the personal di- 
rection of our Vice-President, accompanied by 
our Superintendent of Mining, Mr. George H. 
Davis, who is a thorough miner and intimately 
familiar with every detail of the task before 
him, having passed several years in the snow- 
bound Rockies in charge of large mining in- 
terests and superintending the construction and 
operation of large gold quartz mills. 

The first section, composed of our Vice- 
President with mining experts and engineers, 
will cross the Chilkoot Pass, and descend the 
rivers on the ice, prior to its breaking up. 
They will arrive in the gold fields two months 
ahead of any expedition that can possibly reach 
Dawson City by way of St. Michaels and the 
Yukon River. 

Old miners believe that three hundred tons 
of gold may be taken out each year.

Ex-Secretary of State, Colorado. 



According to Prof. Ogilvie, (the Canadian 
government surveyor) the gold belt of Alaska 
and British America, covers one hundred thou- 
sand square miles. 

The second section, with prospectors, ma- 
chinery, tools, food, and other supplies of all 
kinds, will start from the Pacific coast by the 
water route as early as the rivers are open to 
navigation. The expedition will carry steam 
apparatus, adapted for thawing the perpetually 
frozen gravels of the placer mines ; hoisting en- 
gines for taking the " pay dirt" out of the 
shafts ; portable saw mills to furnish lumber for 
commercial purposes as well as for the use of 
our own party ; an electric light plant to furnish 
lights for others as well as ourselves during the 
almost perpetual night of Arctic winter, and all 
other mechanical and food supplies necessary for 
the use of the syndicate, its mechanics and pros- 
pectors.

The management of this syndicate is in pos- 
session of private information of the greatest 
value, obtained from a veteran prospector who 
cannot return to the scenes of his discovery for 
reason of failing health. This gulch, which 
he has prospected is more than two hundred 
miles from Dawson City, and is not worked or 
claimed. Its distance from Dawson City will 
almost certainly leave it unstaked till we reach 
its easily accessible banks where our informant 
washed thousands of dollars of the purest gold 
and nuggets yet brought from the frozen north. 

We have organized and shall take, as a part 
of our expedition, a large party of prospectors, 
selected from our stockholders, who will be un-

this syndicate for, at least, eighteen months. 
Tney will work prospecting under the super- 
vision and direction of our mining experts and 
engineers. The expenses, supplies, etc., will be 
turnished by the syndicate, the prospectors' com- 
pensation being a 49% interest in the claims 
they may stake; the remaining 51% belonging 
to the syndicate. Whenever a discovery is 
made by any one of the small parties into which 
the prospectors are divided, every other party 
and man will be called in at once and every 
man stakes a claim. 

When operating individually the chances will 
be against any one man's success. With the 



The Klondike is but one of the many hun-

its tributaries has its innumerable creeks with 
gold bearing soil.

this risk is entirely done away with. Organiza-

dicate and its stockholders. This expedition will 
find our agents in the mines where they will 
have passed the winter, fully familiar with the 
country and every circumstance and discovery 
necessary for immediately acquiring properties 
of great worth, either by locating or purchasing. 
Vast sums are to be made operating and devel- 
oping properties to be acquired for the merest 
fraction of their value in the Spring of '98. 

No company, expedition or party can reach 
the gold fields materially in advance of this 
expedition, even though they started months

Small stockholders will participate in all 
dividends, and share every advantage with the

as all property, claims, etc., will belong to the 
stock actually purchased at the time, and will 
greatly increase the value of our shares.

prise.
